Purpose of Autism SIG To bring together the energy, interest and work of the various AUCD entities around autism spectrum disorders. To develop webinars on topics relevant to the field. To investigate options for collaboration with other SIGs and national organizations.
Small Group Discussion Work in small groups to answer the following questions. Answers will be shared with membership. • What are the pressing needs in your state around mental health with or without co-occurring ASD? • What initiatives are there regarding mental health with or without ASD in your state or center?
Looking to the Future Are there other things the Autism SIG can do to support efforts in your state and/or center? These need not be related to mental health.
